Psalm 65
Te decet hymnus
1
Thou, O God, art praised in Sion *
and unto thee shall the vow be performed in Jerusalem.
2
Thou that hearest the prayer *
unto thee shall all flesh come.
3
My misdeeds prevail against me *
O be thou merciful unto our sins.
4
Blessed is the man whom thou choosest, and receivest unto thee *
he shall dwell in thy court, and shall be satisfied with the pleasures of thy house, even of thy holy temple.
5
Thou shalt shew us wonderful things in thy righteousness, O God of our salvation *
thou that art the hope of all the ends of the earth, and of them that remain in the broad sea.
6
Who in his strength setteth fast the mountains *
and is girded about with power.
7
Who stilleth the raging of the sea *
and the noise of his waves, and the madness of the people.
8
They also that dwell in the uttermost parts of the earth shall be afraid at thy tokens *
thou that makest the outgoings of the morning and evening to praise thee.
9
Thou visitest the earth, and blessest it *
thou makest it very plenteous.
10
The river of God is full of water *
thou preparest their corn, for so thou providest for the earth.
11
Thou waterest her furrows, thou sendest rain into the little valleys thereof *
thou makest it soft with the drops of rain, and blessest the increase of it.
12
Thou crownest the year with thy goodness *
and thy clouds drop fatness.
13
They shall drop upon the dwellings of the wilderness *
and the little hills shall rejoice on every side.
14
The folds shall be full of sheep *
the valleys also shall stand so thick with corn, that they shall laugh and sing.
